The 1950s Modeling Look
This surprising Jane Fonda style was part of her young work as a gorgeous and up-and-coming model. While her hair is a bit more old-fashioned than normal, it still looks dazzling for the time. Even back then, short hair was in, and Fonda wears it well in this shot.

Introduction to the Sleeker '60s
As the '60s dawned, Jane Fonda hair changed with the times. Sleeker, longer, and a little more alluring, Jane keeps it sexy and straightforward with this stunning look. It was just one of the many incredible '60s styles she would master by the end of the decade.

Soap Star Fashion
With this startling look, Jane Fonda hair has a style more like that of popular daytime television actresses at the time. Big and bouncy, it's a changeup from her straighter styles of the 60s. In typical fashion for her, Jane totally makes it work.

The Protest Years
Jane Fonda was one of many celebrities who became actively involved in protesting the Vietnam War. As her politics grew more intense, her hairstyle became short and feisty. It's a radical departure from the longer, more luxurious hair she sported not long before.

Let's Get Fit!
In the '80s, Jane Fonda made a variety of exercise videos that showcased her routine for staying in shape. Her hair during this time reflected the "bigger is better" style of the decade without being too ridiculous. This look shows that '80s hair can still work if it's done with a little class.

The Grand Dame Look
While her many detractors claimed that Fonda would never age gracefully, this picture of her and ex-husband Ted Turner taken in the late 90s proves that such a claim was a fallacy. Her excellent "grand old dame" hairstyle here illustrates that fact beautifully.

A Short Cut
As Fonda entered her 60s and 70s, her hairstyle changed into a variety of rather short, more laid-back looks. As always, she was able to capture the essence of the hairstyle and make it work for her still-beautiful face and flawless physique.
